That's exactly the stuff I am really curious about. How did you know that?
And what I think is yet more interesting is how cultural traits and thought processes (for lack of a better term) combine, and how that affects the person's attitude (excluding upbringing and the culture they're brought up in.)
Basically everything you touched on.
